Description

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. I WILL ALLOW LOCAL PICKUP.
This is a set of very old mandolin tuners. They are Waverly brand. An internet search indicates that these were used on Martin, Vega, and other brands of mandolin. They seem to date from the very early 20
th
century.
Each plank is engraved on the underside. The engraving reads: PRODUCT & PROCESS PATENTS APPLIED FOR. WAVERLY MUSICAL PRODUCTS CO. INC. NEW YORK.
The shafts are all quite straight. All the tuners turn & operate. All of the buttons are intact.
One gear & screw is mismatched, and this is shown in a photo.
Nominal measurements are: 15/16” post spacing, 9/16” plank to string hole, ¾” from plank to end of capstan shaft, 3/16” capstan post diameter.
The six original mounting screws are included. Also included are six ferrules, but I am not sure if they are original.
They are probably about a 100 years old, so they are being sold ‘as is’.
See photos for condition. I only ship to the 48 lower states.
No international shipping, please don’t ask
. I will ship ASAP after your payment clears, but I don't go to the Post Office every day, so keep that in mind. I usually get to the PO by the Thursday following the payment date, or sooner. Any questions, ask before bidding & I will do my best to answer. I am knowledgeable, but not an expert. No returns. Pay via paypal.
See the shipping calculator for shipping cost.
I do my best to keep my starting price low, so the bidders can decide the final value. I use the eBay shipping calculator. Please don’t hold it against me for what the USPS charges for shipping.
Look at my feedback score. If you are not happy, let me know, and we will work it out.
I APPRECIATE ANY POSITIVE FEEDBACK & WILL RECIPROCATE.
